At a special screening of the film organised here on Tuesday, a number of celebrities including filmmakers like Rajkumar Hirani, Anurag Kashyap, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Vishal Bhardwaj, Farah Khan and Gauri Shinde, came to watch it.

They not only heaped praises for Kangana’s endearing act in the film, but also praised the “great and well-directed film”.

For them, Kangana and “Tanu Weds Manu Returns” are a winner this year.

“It’s a fantastic film. It’s a great story and very well-directed. You just watch it. It’s a great film,” Hirani said here.

Kashyap, whose “Bombay Velvet” failed to elicit a response he may have desired, said “‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ is an outstanding film. The sequel is so much better than the prequel.”

Talking about Kangana’s twin character Datto, he said “it is one of the finest characters I have ever seen”.

“All performances were very good. I never laughed so much. This film will make you go ‘mad’,” Kashyap added.
